Almond Crusted Meat and Shrimp Balls

This tasty finger food is great for parties or gatherings. I remember eating something similar at a wedding banquet but I forgot what was in the balls so I recreated something with whatever I have in the freezer. If you're not a fan of sliced almonds you can always roll it out in tiny little white bread cubes.

1. Add shrimp in a food processor, using the metal blade process it for a few seconds, until shrimp is pasty.
2. Remove and mix in all the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Let it marinate for an hour.
3. With a wet hand shape the mixture into 1 inch balls. Drop them into the almond slices and roll to coat. Do the same to the rest.
4. Heat up oil in a deep pan, turn the heat to medium and drop the balls into the oil carefully. Deep fry until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve with some chili sauce.

Gert...that is so yummy looking and like those served in the restaurant..yours look better, nicely browned too. Thanks for the recipe :) How you can stick those almond slices so neatly done...I would have make a mess of it :p
